How will he untie his emotional knot without causing emotional damage to the two women?The insights and descriptions are exquisite – and there is an unexpected twist at the end.’The Lily of the Valley’ is perfect reading for fans of other books featuring a love triangle, including Margaret Mitchell’s ‘Gone With the Wind’ and Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’.-
